Are you an infrequent Pandora user? Would you like to use more of Pandora without actually subscribing to the service? If yes, then you should take a look at a desktop application called Bandito.

Bandito is a free to use desktop application for computers running Mac OS X 10.6 or later. The app is sized at nearly 2 MB. With Bandito you get desktop access to your Pandora account. Both free and paid Pandora accounts are supported. You can use the app to create personalized Internet radio stations, search for existing ones, or simply access your own Pandora stations. The working takes place entirely within the app and you do not need a browser open to stream the music.

A set of hotkeys lets you easily skips songs, adjust the volume, and show the stations.
